In the construction of the a paratns the receptacle is supported on a'co1led spring mounted so as to permit lateral oscillating movement or vertical reciprocating movement of the rece tacle.

In the examp apparatus consists of ,a base 1 -made from wood ormetal, a receptacle 4 of transparcut material such as glass, celluloid. or the like, and a coiled spring 2 fixed to the base 1 and to the bottom of the reeeptaele-4. As

But I wish it tobe understood that I do not limit myself to this feature, and that'in some cases the top of the receptacle is fiat or otherwise shaped.

I claim:

A dice playing apparatus, comprising at its top and open-at its bottom, a stopper for closing said receptm-le at its bottom, and a flexible elastic member fixed to said stopper and supporting the receptacle.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
